Innovation in cities: Science-based diversity, specialization and localized competition
1.9K
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the effect of the composition of economic activity on innovation and test whether the specialization of economic activities within a narrow concentrated set of activities is more conducive to knowledge spillovers or if diversity, by bringing together complementary activities, better promotes innovation.

Industrial agglomeration in Myanmar
TL;DR: This paper investigated the benefits of industrial zones for private manufacturing enterprises in Myanmar and found that being located in an industrial zone associates with higher labour productivity, however, value added gains are not transferred to employees.
Scientific foundation, organization structure, and performance of biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine an Absorptive Capacity (AC) approach with Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) to explore and explain how firms gain knowledge and perform given their scientific focus.

Spatial clustering of knowledge-based industries in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the Helsinki metropolitan area's spatial clustering of KBI at the subdistrict level, and the role played by agglomeration economies (both specialization and diversity economies) in fostering this process.

- 05 Jan 2004
TL;DR: A theory-based conceptual framework is proposed integrating constructs from several well-established incentive-related organizational theories to derive functional models to explain why workers do not take advantage of distributed work arrangements in two high tech sales organizations.

Absorptive capacity: a new perspective on learning and innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovative capabilities.
Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity, which is essentially a competitive equilibrium model with endogenous technological change.

Endogenous Technological Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock of human capital determines the rate of growth, that too little human capital is devoted to research in equilibrium, that integration into world markets will increase growth rates, and that having a large population is not sufficient to generate growth.

Increasing Returns and Economic Geography
TL;DR: This paper developed a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized core and an agricultural periphery, in which manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing.
